if others choose this for themselves, what (really) can you do to stop them

but don't lower yourself to them; show them a way forward

if they can't follow, bless them and move on

this should be the year when you stop rolling backwards

find your happy zone and guard it well

no one wants you to find it -- yet most are all too willing to tear yours down, if you do

this year is the year we turn the corner

get rid of those who pull you down, rain on your parade when they see your balloon; again, wish them well but SERIOUSLY tune them out​trust me when I say this is THE most important step you can take towards making a happy 2017
